About

Welcome to my blog. I write about autism, running, my family, and various other random aspects of life that fascinate or mystify me.

Just for fun, here are five random facts about me:

I have a computer programming background, and although I was good at it, I’m not enough of a propellor-head to be drop-dead brilliant at it. Now I work in I.T. project management, and I want to be a full-time writer when I grow up.

For someone who uses a lot of metaphors, I take things very literally. For example, if someone tells me that it’s raining cats and dogs, I’ll start worrying about whether there is enough space in the animal shelters.

I’m afraid of the Bloor Viaduct, and say a silent prayer every time the subway goes over it.

I once bought loose tea-leaves from a Bedouin Arab when I was in the Sinai Desert, and not knowing what the hell I supposed to do with loose tea-leaves in the middle of a desert, I tried to smoke them.

I’m left-handed. This is apparently a trait I share with 85% of polar bears (I’d love to have dinner with the guy who did that research – imagine the questions I could ask).

Sometimes, when I write my blogs, I actually do make sense.

There are ways and means for you to connect with me outside of this blog! You can follow me on Twitter or get updates on my Facebook page. Or if you’d prefer more one-on-one communication, feel free to send me an email.
